Life as a carbon-based life form; a journey of building on success and learning from mistakes.

The music book

Won afew bucks from tipping on the West Tigers in the NRL Grand Final game. I dont take much interest in sport I dont play. The company managers are footy and horse racing fanatics, I had no choice but to tip in with them.

Suong sent me a music book, a collection of Vietnamese songs from the romantic period. Gotta learn to play afew songs from there, so when I see her next I play her a song to say thanks for the gift?

The road home

Everyday I drive home from work through the suburb of Guildford, and everytime it reminding me of the most beautiful girl in the world.

I have a soft spot for Asian girl with short hair.

Ironbark House

Anh Viet Faen's 1 month party for the newly arrive baby boy.

I'm loaded with projects at this time of year, at uni as well as at work. Stress and undervalued; its a sign I'm moving up in the food chain.

Saw this place down in the South Coast - gotta love a place with an iron roofing, I can throw a party and entertain friends under the stars. Weekend home? My love nest? Share the house key around to friends, family, relatives and work colleagues who need a country view holiday?

People who say "wont", "cant", and "impossible" are weak, and often failed. We are here for a good time, not for a long time.

Oscar Wilde b'day

The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says. - Oscar Wilde, Mrs. Allonby in A Woman of No Importance (1893)

The Accountant

Appointment with George Warda, my accountant. He's doing my tax return. He also recommend I should consider private health fund, because I'm single and have enough income can cover it. He encouraging me to chase higher paid job or start a business - I'm pleased with his good honest service and advice.

One day I'll marry me a girl in finance, they are good with money and they are wild.

A good bike is like a good woman, she need alot of maintainance and attention.

I miss you - but I miss the sex game more.

New season

My first day back to rowing for the new season. Our team is loaded with new people. I met an old friend who used to work with me at Australia Post.

The night is electric with the sound and smell of Indian culture. The festival of Lights is one of the most important festivals in India. It is known as Deepavali or Diwali in North India. It is a joyous festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil.

UVSA

The 4th International Vietnamese Youth Conference. I didnt like it, it lack the spirit of local community. Although the Ao Dai fashion parade is always spectacular; Viet girls have curves like angels oughta have.

Paying taxes

Day 1 of the Intermediate First Aid certificate training.

On the way home the police booked me $350 for fail to display plate on motorcycle as required and fail to comply with licence conditions. Technically they cant book me without their full uniform (they didnt have their hat on), but its mostly my fault so I should pay the goverment this one.
